Spanish term

Triángulo de descarga

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) Plastic surgery
Hi,

Can anyone help with this phrase? It comes from a paper on eyelid reconstruction.
The full phrase is:
Se realiza un triángulo de descarga en la lamela posterior, inferior a la zona del defecto, extirpando conjuntiva y retractores.

Thanks,

C.

Burow's triangle The text also talks about Burow's triangles, so I presume that this is an extra cut. For this reason I'm going to go with Liz's answer. Thanks. :o)

Burow's triangle

A technique used in reconstructive surgery.

The example sentence below is from Reconstructive Facial Plastic Surgery: A Problem Solving Manual by Hilko Weerda, Figures 3.1 - 3.7
Example sentence:

The U-shaped skin advancement requires the excision of two Burow\\\'s triangles.

Note from asker:
You may be right, but the text also talks about Burow's triangles, so I prefer not to use that term here, where it may well be an extra incision. Thanks for your help :o)
Peer comment(s):

neutral liz askew : I think it is a bit more subtle than this though, what about "de descarga"?
